[SUGGESTION]How to get rid of hackers
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello. The last two months until the 0.5 update were full of hackers. I already heared that there are hackers again. So I thought a lot about getting rid of those guys hacking. Here is my suggestion:

1.: Choose a computer (I think you have some more than 1 ;) ) and refurbish Windows, save every important data etc. There has to be no more sensitive or important data on this computer.

2.: Cut all local network connections, so no connection to your other computers, just a normal internet acces.

3.: Install the public version of DayZ, so buy it o steam via a new steam account and install it.

4.: Now there are 2 ways: Search for hacks via google OR ask a cooperative hacker for his source and get the hack on your computer.

5.: Just analyse the hack: Notice what data is modified or used to make the hacking possible and eliminate those possibilities, fill the security gaps, change the used data or whatever (Im just a beginner programmer)

This should work, shouldnt it? I mean, Im just a beginner programmer but this could be the way to fix it and to find out how they do it.
Feedback is welcome.

Greetings

Hello Tombo,

Thanks for sending in your suggestion. I understand that getting feedback on this would be great, and normalyy that wouldn't be a problem. However, due to security reasons, the devs try to give out as little information as possible in regards to the development of the security measures. Once that is said though, your willingness to engage in the issue and send in your suggestion is very much appreciated :)

Regards,
